What reading level is The Navajos volume 1 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A dark field of 90 THE NAVAJOS black, red and blue generally connects the central diamond with each of the half -diamonds to the right and left. In olden times, when the Navajos wore their own make of blankets, only the chiefs of the tribe were permitted to wear a hon-el-chod-di blanket.
It might be well to state here that all weaving among the Navajos is done by the women, but among the Pueblo Indians the men are the weavers. There is on the Navajo reservation a hermaphrodite who weaves blanke...ts. He weaves only one blanket each year and this is always a very large, fine one. It is a marked characteristic of the hermaphrodites among the Navajos that they are always more dextrous at woman's work than are the women themselves. Ac- cording to Navajo mythology the First Man and the First Woman were created from two ears of corn and the first fruits of their marriage were twins and her- maphrodites. There is a prevailing superstition among the Navajos, therefore, that the hermaphrodite is possessed of supernatural powers, and the herma- phrodite here referred to is a noted shaman, or medi- cine man, of the tribe.
